The Kennedy White House: Family Life and Pictures, 1961-1963
Carl Sferrazza Anthony. Touchstone Books, $32 (304pp) ISBN 978-0-7432-2221-1
First Lady buff Carl Sferrazza Anthony (Florence Harding; America's Most Influential First Ladies; etc.) turns his attention to the Kennedy family in its entirety in The Kennedy White House: Family Life & Pictures, 1961-1963. With more than 300 black-and-white and color photographs most from the Kennedy Library's archives and previously unpublished visual representation is this volume's raison d' tre. But Anthony offers a domestically detailed and staunchly apolitical history (the Bay of Pigs and JFK's taste in hats earn an equal number of pages) that Kennedy fans will relish as yet another window onto Camelot.
